18" tires: Best inexpensive 255/55? - Honda Pilot

stubble · 07-02-2008, 10:23 AM

Hi, I've got a set of RDX wheels, and will be putting 255/55/18s on to match the original diameter as closely as possible. I'm considering the Avon Tech ST and the Yoko GO52. I'd like to keep it under $150 per.

I have good experience with Yokohama, none with Avon except on the motorcycle. Any suggestions on these or others?

TIA

Thanks for the tip. Nobody around here carries those unfortunately, and I don't have time for mail order this time, so I'll have to look at these next time around. I think I'm going to stretch for the Yokos, they seem to have positive reviews.

Got the Geolanders (G052). As expected the ride is a little firmer, less vague, than with the stockers. Haven't driven enough to have any other opinions yet. Great deal at Wheel Works, they matched Tire Rack's price.

The RDX wheels and these tires look FANTASTIC on the Pilot, IMO. Can take pics if there's interest. I wanted wheels that were more in proportion to the vehicle, but I hate bling. In other words, I want it to look great, but "factory". These wheels fit the bill nicely.
